Pangong Tso : The Brown-Headed gulls

Pangong Tso is among the biggest salt water lakes in the whole of Asia. It is situated at the frightening altitude of 4,250 meters asl (13,940 ft). The lake is a crystal clear sheet of water that is spread over more than 100 km across the border of two countries India and China. There are a few brahminy ducks and brown-headed gulls that can be seen when it is the migratory season for the birds. During summer, these Brown-headed gulls migrate and breeds in the marshes and bogs of the Central Asian plateau and high-altitude lakes of Ladakh in India (among them Pangong Tso).
